Reading is another passion. All kinds of subjects interest me: biography, history, travels, philosophy,
religion, sports, health etc. The local library is my source of reading fare. I have been a member of
libraries ever since my school days. During my voracious reading period some twenty years ago,
I was a member of three libraries simultaneously: the USIS library, the British Council library and
the Perpustakaan Awam Selangor. Now I'm a member of only one library - the Shah Alam library -
borrowing three books every three weeks.
I was hooked to the habit of reading (about 60 years ago) after reading "The Diary of Anne Frank"
a 14-year old Jewish girl hiding in an attic in Amsterdam to escape from persecution of the Jews
from Hitler's pogroms. She and her family were finally caught and died in a concentration camp.
Hitler succeeded in snuffing the life of this Jewish girl but she lives forever through her very detailed
diary. Ever since reading her diary, I too, keep a detailed daily diary till this day.
